Career Pathways & Credentialing

The direct support professional (DSP)position is complex and takes training and experience to provide quality support. Often, the complex knowledge, skills, and attitudes that DSPs develop are not properly acknowledged. Supporting DSPs in their professional development by creating a career pathways program is an important strategy for keeping great DSPs. Together, we will learn:
 
  • The connection between career paths, retention, and the needs of the people you support.
  • The basic steps in building a career pathway or implementing a credentialing program in an organization.
  • How career paths can elevate the direct support workforce and support organizational objectives.
